This copy is from the print that surfaced at the Gosfilmofund in Moscow, Russia in the early 1990's; and at least a pair of reels are missing. However, their absence occurs in the early part of the movie and does not seriously impair watching the film in toto. Until UCLA comes out on DVD with their restored version (and why, after all, don't they?), this is about as good a print as one's likely to see.

Note. The version for .avi download here is somewhat better in picture quality than the one presented on video.
